I really liked this movie and will buy it for sure when it comes out on DVD. It was funny, touching, and then funny again all throughout the film. The performances were great, there were so many great lines and I LOVED the ending!!
It is just too bad that this fully Canadian made film had such poor publicity (a few commercials during the hockey games) and poor distribution in Canada. What is wrong with this country? We seem to only want to celebrate our talent that has made it in the USA - and totally ignore the great talent we have working up here. It is a total shame, and doesn't make things look hopeful for the mounds of aspiring actors, directors and writers that want to live and work in the industry up here.
This movie was great - and more enjoyable than a lot of the big budget Hollywood hype I've seen lately. I really really hope it finds a following on Video and DVD when it eventually gets released to this market.

Whenever anyone asks me about the worst movie I've ever seen - I ALWAYS say, "Rented Lips." Thankfully, these lucky people never know what I'm talking about. I only saw this because I'm a fan of Downey Jr's... and much like the Ally McBeal saga was - no matter how much of a fan I am of his, there are some things I just can't sit through.
This film is just bad... I don't remember if it was Downey Sr's directing, or Jennifer Tilly's existence, or the fact that Martin Mull was in it AND wrote it (look at all these warning signs.. and I still decided to watch)... I just remember how much I couldn't believe that it actually got made... Thus reaffirming my belief that ANYONE can make a movie these days.
Save yourself folks... Even if you're Downey Jr fans... If you want to sit through a bad Downey Jr movie, go rent Two Girls And A Guy.. at least you'll get some singin, dancin, Shakespeare and great acting in that one.

I love this movie. The writing, directing, acting... Love it all. It is slightly out of the box.. Coloring just beyond the lines. It takes place in a time that seems real on the surface, but it is also evident that this is in no world we've ever been in... I have no idea how else to describe it. This movie is quite funny. not laugh-track funny.. There is an underlying humor throughout the film (largely brought out by Martin Donovan's excellent performance).. some of the funniest scenes are with Matthew and his father. Give the movie a try. It isn't for everyone. I know many who found it boring, or didn't get why its listed as a comedy. It's too bad really, because they're missing out on a really great film.
